TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel substituted benzene derivative or a salt thereof which is useful as a pharmaceutical agent particularly as an activated blood coagulation factor X inhibitor and also to such a pharmaceutical agent.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] With the changes into European and American life styles and the increase in aged population in recent years, the number of patients with thromboembolic diseases including myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis and peripheral arterial thrombosis have been increasing year by year and social importance of their treatment has been increasing more and more. As well as the fibrinolysis therapy and antiplatelet therapy, the anticoagulation therapy takes a part of the medical therapy in treating and preventing thrombosis (Sogo Rinsho, 41: 2141-2145, 1989). In particular, the safety which withstands long-term administration and accurate and proper expression of the anticoagulation activity are essential in the prevention of thrombosis. Warfarin potassium is frequently used in the world as the sole oral anticoagulant but this drug is extremely difficult to use clinically because it is difficult to control the anticoagulation capacity due to the characteristics based on its action mechanism (J. Clinical Pharmacology, 32, 196-209, 1992 and N. Eng. J. Med., 324(26), 1865-1875, 1991) whereby a great concern has been directed toward the development of more useful and easily usable anticoagulants.

[0003] Thrombin controls conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin which is the final step of coagulation and is also concerned deeply in the activation and aggregation of platelets (“T-PA and Pro-UK” edited by S. Matsuo, published by Gakusai Kikaku, pp. 5-40 “Blood Coagulation”, 1986) and its inhibitor has been the center of anticoagulant studies as a target of development of pharmaceuticals. However, thrombin inhibitors which can be administered orally have not been put into the market until now because of their low bioavailability by oral administration and problems from the viewpoint of safety (Biomed. Biochim. Acta, 44, 1201-1210, 1985).

[0004] Activated blood coagulation factor X is a key enzyme which is located at the joining point of the extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation cascade reactions and located upstream to thrombin whereby there is a possibility that inhibition of this factor is more efficient than the thrombin inhibition and such an inhibitor can inhibit this coagulation system in a specific manner (THROMBOSIS RESEARCH (19), 339-349, 1980).

[0005] As the compounds having an activated blood coagulation factor X inhibiting action, amidinonaphthyl alkylbenzene derivatives or salts thereof have been known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 208946/1993; Thrombosis Haemostasis, 71(3), 314-319, 1994; and Thrombosis Haemostasis, 72(3), 393-396, 1994).

[0006] In WO 96/16940, it is mentioned that an amidinonaphthyl derivative or a salt thereof represented by the following formula is the compound having an activated blood coagulation factor X inhibiting action.

[0007] (for the symbols in the formula, refer to the gazette)

[0008] In WO 99/00121, WO 99/00126, WO 99/00127, WO 99/00128, WO 00/39111, WO 00/39117 and WO 00/39118, phenylenediamide compounds represented by the following formula, etc. are mentioned as an Xa factor inhibitor.

[0009] (for the symbols in the formula, refer to each of the gazettes)

[0010] Further, in WO 99/32477, a broad range of compounds represented by the following formula is mentioned as an anticoagulant.

[0011] (for the symbols in the formula, refer to the gazette)

[0012] In an anticoagulation therapy, activated blood coagulation factor X inhibitor is expected to inhibit coagulation system effectively and specifically as compared with a thrombin inhibitor. Accordingly, there has been a brisk demand for creating a selective activated blood coagulation factor X inhibitor which has different chemical structure from the above-mentioned known compounds, is able to be administered per os and has further excellent effect.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0013] As a result of various studies, the present inventors have found that a substituted benzene derivative represented by the following formula (I) or a salt thereof having a characteristic in terms of chemical structure where a benzene ring or a hetero ring (A ring) is bonded with a benzene ring via an amide bond (X¹), etc., the said benzene ring is further bonded with a piperidine ring or a benzene ring (B ring) via an amide bond (X²), etc., the central benzene ring always has —OR⁴ (—OH, —O—SO₃H or —O-sugar residue) and R¹ has always a substituent other than hydrogen atom (halogen atom, a lower alkyl which may be substituted with halogen atom or a lower alkoxy which may be substituted with halogen atom) has an excellent activated blood coagulation factor X inhibiting action and particularly has an excellent activity per os whereupon the present invention has been achieved.

[0047] (Production Methods)

[0048] Typical production methods of the compound of the present invention will be illustrated as hereunder.

[0049] In the case of the compound of the present invention (I) where R⁴ is hydrogen atom, it may be prepared by the following method.

[0050] (In the formulae, A ring, X¹, X², R¹, R² and R³ have the above-mentioned meanings; Q and W are that, when Q is —NH₂ or —NH-(lower alkyl), W means —COOH, —CHO or —CH₂— leaving group while, when Q is —COOH, —CHO or —CH₂— leaving group, W means —NH₂ or —NH-(lower alkyl); P¹ means hydrogen atom, lower alkyl or a protective group for amine; P² means hydrogen atom or a protective group for phenol; and examples of the leaving group are halogen atom, —O—SO₂alkyl and —O—SO₂-aryl.)

[0051] Step A

[0052] This is a reaction where condensation of a carboxylic acid with an amine, an aldehyde with an amine or a compound having a —CH₂-leaving group with an amine comprising a combination of the compound (II) with the compound (IV) is carried out to synthesize a compound (Ia).

[0053] In the case of a combination of a carboxylic acid with an amine, the present reaction is preferably in accordance with the conventional acylation reaction in the presence of a condensing agent to form an amide bond.

[0054] Examples of the condensing agent which is used advantageously are N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-ethyl-3-[3-(N,N-dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide, carbonyldiimidazole, diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) and diethylphosphoryl cyanide.

[0055] It is also possible that a carboxylic acid is made into the active derivatives of the corresponding carboxylic acid and then condensed with an amine.

[0056] Examples of the active derivative of the carboxylic acid are active ester prepared by the reaction with a compound of a phenol type such as p-nitrophenol or an N-hydroxyamine type such as 1-hydroxysuccinimide and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, carbonic acid monoalkyl ester, mixed acid anhydride prepared by the reaction with organic acid and a phosphoric acid type mixed acid anhydride prepared by the reaction with diphenylphosphoryl chloride and N-methylmorpholine; acid azide prepared by the reaction of an ester with hydrazine and alkyl nitrite; acid halides such as acid chloride and acid bromide; and acid anhydride of a symmetric type. Usually, the above reaction is carried out in a solvent from with cooling to or at room temperature although, in some cases, it is to be carried out under an anhydrous condition depending upon the type of the acylation reaction.

[0057] Examples of the applicable solvent are inert solvents which do not participate in the reaction such as dimethylformamide, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ether, dichloroethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dimethoxymethane, dimethoxyethane, ethyl acetate, benzene, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethanol, methanol and water and a mixed solvent thereof and an appropriate selection depending upon the applied method is preferred.

[0058] In addition, depending upon the applied method, there are some cases where the reaction smoothly proceeds in the presence of a base or using such a base as a solvent where the base is N-methylmorpholine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, pyridine, sodium hydride, potassium tert-butoxide, butyl lithium, sodium amide, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, cesium carbonate or the like.

[0059] Any of the reactions besides the above-mentioned ones may be used so far as the reaction forms an amide bond.

[0060] In the case of the combination of the aldehyde and the amine, the reaction may be carried out according to a usual reductive amination reaction in the presence of a reducing agent.

[0061] As the reducing agent, sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium triacetoxyborohydride, borane-trimethylamine complex and the like can be suitably used. Further, catalytic hydrogenation may be carried out at atmospheric pressure or under an elevated pressure in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium-carbon and platinum oxide. The reaction is carried out under cooling or heating in alcohol or in a solvent that does not participate in the reaction. In addition, depending upon the applied method, there are some cases where the reaction smoothly proceeds in the presence of an acid such as acetic acid, toluenesulfonic acid and sulfuric acid or using such an acid as a solvent.

[0062] In the case of the combination of the CH₂-leaving group-containing compound and the amine, the reaction may be carried out according to a usual N-alkylation reaction.

[0063] The reaction is carried out under cooling or heating in a solvent that does not participate in the reaction. In addition, depending upon the applied method, there are some cases where the reaction smoothly proceeds in the presence of the base as described above or using such a base as a solvent.

[0064] Step B

[0065] This is a reaction where reaction of a carboxylic acid with an amine, an aldehyde with an amine or a compound having a —CH₂-leaving group with an amine comprising a combination of the compound (III) and the compound (V) is carried out to synthesize a compound (Ia). This reaction is carried out by the same manner as in the step A.

[0066] When P¹ in the compound (Ia) of the present invention is a protective group for amine and the protective group is not cleaved during the steps A and B, a cleavage using a method suitable for cleaving the protective group P¹, for example, cleavage by acid such as trifluoroacetic or cleavage by reduction adding catalytic hydrogen, is carried out whereupon it is possible to give a compound of the present invention (I) in which R¹ is hydrogen atom. Further, when P² of the compound (Ia) of the present invention is a protective group for phenol and the protective group is not cleaved during the steps A and B, cleavage using a method suitable for cleaving the protective group P² such as cleavage by reduction adding catalytic hydrogen, cleavage by pentamethylbenzene and trifluoroacetic acid or cleavage by hydrolysis using a base such as sodium hydroxide is carried out whereupon it is possible to give a compound of the present invention (I) where R⁴ is hydrogen atom.

[0067] With regard to the protective group for amine exemplified for P¹, there is no particular limitation so far as it is a group which is usually used for protection of amine and its examples are lower alkoxycarbonyl, aralkyloxycarbonyl, acyl, lower alkyl, aralkyl and sulfonyl or the like.

[0068] With regard to the protective group for phenol exemplified for P², there is no particular limitation so far as it is a group which is usually used for protection of phenol and its examples are optionally substituted lower alkyl, aralkyl, tri(lower alkyl)silyl, lower alkylcarbonyl, lower alkyloxycarbonyl and sulfonyl. “Aralkyl” means a group where hydrogen atom of the above alkyl is substituted with aryl and its specific examples are benzyl and phenylethyl. Specific examples of “acyl” are formyl, acetyl, propionyl and butyryl.

[0069] Further, a method which is shown by the following reaction formulae is exemplified as a particularly effective method.

[0070] (In the formulae, A ring, P¹, P², R¹, R², R³, R⁵ and R⁶ have the above-mentioned meanings.)

[0071] This is a reaction where an amide linkage is produced by the reaction of the compound (VI) with an amine (IVa) or the compound (VII) with an amine (Va) to give a compound (Ib) or a compound (Ic) and it is carried out in the above-mentioned solvent which does not participate in the reaction from at room temperature to with heating. In addition, depending upon the applied method, there are some cases where the reaction smoothly proceeds in the presence of a base or using such a base as a solvent in which the base is N-methylmorpholine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, pyridine, sodium hydride, potassium tert-butoxide, butyl lithium, sodium amide or the like.

[0072] When the compound of the present invention (I) where R⁴ is hydrogen atom is used and made into a sulfonic acid using a trimethylamine-sulfur trioxide complex or the like, it is possible to prepare a compound of the present invention (I) where R⁴ is —SO₃H.

[0073] The compound of the present invention (I) where R⁴ is a sugar residue may be prepared by the following method using a compound where R⁴ is hydrogen atom or a compound which can be synthesized by a known method described in the patent gazettes cited in “Background of the Invention”.

[0074] (In the formulae, A ring, B ring, R¹, R², R³, X¹ and X² have the above-mentioned meanings; Y means a leaving group; and R⁹ means a sugar residue which may be protected.)

[0075] Step C

[0076] This is a reaction where a sugar donor and a phenol comprising a combination of the compound (Id) and the compound (VIII) are made to react preferably in the presence of an activator to synthesize a compound (Ie) having a sugar residue which may have a protective group. This reaction may follow the common methods for the production of glycosides. Representative methods are those described in Yuki Gosei Kagaku Kyokai Shi, vol. 50, no. 5 (1992), pages 378-390 and in “Jikken Kagaku Koza”, vol. 26, ‘Yuki Gosei’ VIII, pages 267-354, published in 1992 by Maruzen.

[0077] Examples of the sugar donor are sugar derivatives having a leaving group at the 1-position of the sugar. Examples of the leaving group are halogen, thioalkyl, thioheteroaryl, acyloxy, trichloroacetimidate, diaryl phosphate, diaryl phosphine imidate, tetramethylphosphoroamidate and dialkyl phosphate.

[0078] Examples of the condensing agent used are silver carbonate, silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, silver perchlorate, silver oxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium methoxide, sodium hydride, diazabicycloundecene, trimethylsilyl triflate, boron trifluoride, methyl triflate, silicon tetrafluoride, tin chloride, p-toluenesulfonic acid and salt thereof, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid anhydride, copper bromide, mercury bromide and N-bromosuccinimide.

[0079] It is also possible to use a sugar donor having, for example, a hydroxyl group at 1-position where an activator such as triphenyl phosphine, diethyl azodicarboxylate, etc. is used.

[0080] Usually, the above reaction is carried out under from cooling to heating in a solvent. Depending upon the type of the reaction for the production of glycoside, there are some cases where the reaction is to be carried out under an anhydrous condition.

[0081] With regard to a solvent, there may be used an inert solvent which does not participate in the reaction such as dimethylformamide, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ether, dichloroethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dimethoxymethane, dimethoxyethane, ethyl acetate, benzene, toluene, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol, ethanol, etc. or a mixed solvent thereof and it is preferred to appropriately select depending upon the method applied.

[0082] Further, any reaction besides the reactions mentioned here may be used so far as it is a reaction which forms a glycoside bond.

[0083] When R⁹ is a sugar residue which may have a protective group in the compound of the present invention (Ie) and when the said protective group is not cleaved in the step C, it is also possible to prepare the compound of the present invention where R⁹ is a sugar residue having no protective group by means of cleavage using a method which is appropriate for cleaving the said protective group such as cleavage by hydrolysis using a base such as sodium carbonate or cleavage by reduction such as addition of catalytic reduction.

[0084] There is no particular limitation for the protective group so far as it is a group which is usually used for protection of hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, etc. and its examples are optionally substituted lower alkyl, aralyl, tri(lower alkyl) silyl and acyl. “Aralkyl” means a group where hydrogen atom of the above-mentioned lower alkyl is substituted with aryl and its specific examples are benzyl, etc. Specific examples of “acyl” are acetyl, propionyl, isopropionyl and benzoyl.

[0085] Incidentally, the material compounds for the compounds of the present invention may be produced by the following representative method.

[0086] (In the formula, R³, X², P¹, P², Q and W have the same meanings as mentioned already; U is —COOH, —COOP³, —NH₂, —NH-(lower alkyl), —NH—P⁴, —N(P⁴)-(lower alkyl), NO₂, —CHO, —CH₂OH, -(lower alkyl) or a —CH₂-leaving group; and P³ and P⁴ are protective groups for carboxyl and amine, respectively) This is a reaction where condensation of a carboxylic acid with an amine, an aldehyde with an amine or a compound having a —CH₂-leaving group with an amine comprising a combination of the compound (IX) with the compound (V) is carried out to synthesize a compound (IIa). This reaction is carried out by the same manner as in the above-mentioned step A.

[0101] To 90 μl of human blood plasma were added 10 μl of a drug or a physiological saline and 50 R1 of human factor Xa (Enzyme Research Labs), incubation was carried out at 30° C. for 3 minutes, 100 μl of 20 mM CaCl₂ previously warmed at 37° C. were added and the time until coagulation was measured by a coagulo-meter (KC10 of Amelung). With regard to the human blood plasma, each 45 ml of blood were collected from vein of elbow of six healthy persons using a syringe in which 5 ml of 3.8% sodium citrate were contained and centrifuged at 4° C. for 15 minutes at 3,000 rpm and the separate blood plasma was pooled and frozen, then thawed before use. With regard to the human factor Xa, the concentration by which the coagulation time when a physiological saline solution (control) was added was about 30 to 40 seconds was selected. A CT₂ value (concentration by which the coagulation time is prolonged to an extent of 2-fold) was determined by plotting the drug concentrations and relative value (fold) of the coagulation time to the control, followed by subjecting to linear regression. The results are shown in the following Table 1. TABLE 1 Test on Measurement of Coagulation Time by Compound Human Activated Blood Coagulation Factor X (CT₂) (μM) Example 1 0.295 Example 3 0.062 Example 8 0.137 Example 10 0.617 Example 18 0.153

As compared with Example 44 (control) of WO 00/39118, the compounds of Examples 1 and 3 of the present invention were confirmed to have longer extending action for the coagulation time by the same dose and to show an excellent anticoagulation action. In addition, the compounds shown in Examples 18 and 19 showed the similar action for extending the coagulation time by the dose of one-tenth as compared with the control and were confirmed to show an excellent anticoagulation action.

[0117] The pharmaceutical composition which contains one or more compound(s) of the present invention represented by the formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as the active ingredient is prepared into tablets, diluted powders, fine granules, granules, capsules, pills, solutions, injections, suppositories, ointments, plasters and the like using commonly used pharmaceutical carriers, fillers and other additives and administered either orally or parenterally (such as injection, percutaneous, permucous, etc.).

[0118] Clinical dose of the compound of the present invention in human is optionally decided by taking symptoms, body weight, age, sex and the like of each patient to be treated into consideration and, usually, it is 0.1 to 500 mg by oral administration or 0.01 to 100 mg by parenteral administration per day per adult where the daily dose is divided into one to several time(s) per day. Since the dose varies under various conditions, a smaller dose than the above range may be sufficient in some cases.

[0119] The solid composition for use in the oral administration according to the present invention is used in the form of tablets, diluted powders, granules and the like. In such a solid composition, one or more active substance(s) is/are mixed with at least one inert diluent such as lactose, mannitol, glucose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone, metasilicic acid or magnesium aluminate. In the usual manner, the composition may contain additives other than the inert diluent, such as a lubricant (e.g., magnesium stearate), a disintegrating agent (e.g., calcium cellulose glycolate), a stabilizing agent (e.g., lactose) and a solubilizing agent or a solubilizing aid (e.g., glutamic acid and aspartic acid). If necessary, tablets or pills may be coated with a film of a gastric or enteric substance such as sucrose, gelatin, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate or the like.

[0120] The liquid composition for oral administration includes pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, elixirs and the like and contains a commonly used inert diluent such as pure water or ethyl alcohol. In addition to the inert diluent, this composition may also contain auxiliary agents such as a solubilizing agent or a solubilizing aid, a moistening agent, a suspending agent and the like, as well as sweeteners, flavors, aromas and antiseptics.

[0121] The injections for parenteral administration include aseptic aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions and emulsions. Examples of the diluent for use in the aqueous solutions and suspensions include distilled water for injection use and physiological saline. Examples of the diluent for use in the non-aqueous solutions and suspensions include propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, a vegetable oil (e.g., olive oil), an alcohol (e.g., ethyl alcohol), Polysorbate 80 (trade name) and the like.

[0122] Such a composition may further contain additive agents such as isotonic agent, an antiseptic agent, a moistening agent, an emulsifying agent, a dispersing agent, a stabilizing agent (e.g., lactose) and a solubilizing agent or a solubilizing aid. Those compositions are sterilized by filtering through a bacteria retaining filter, blending of a germicide or irradiation. Alternatively, they may be used by firstly making into sterile solid compositions and dissolving them in sterile water or a sterile solvent for injection prior to their use.

[0123] When the compound of the present invention has a low solubility, it may be subjected to a solubilization treatment. The solubilization treatment may be carried out by known methods which can be applied to pharmaceutical preparations such as a method in which surface-active agents (polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, polyoxyethylene sorbitan higher fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycols, sucrose fatty acid esters and the like) are added and a method in which a drug is formed into a solid dispersion together with a solubilizing agent such as a polymer (e.g., a water soluble high polymer such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) or an enteric polymer such as carboxymethyl ethylcellulose (CMEC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP) and methyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer (Eudragit L and S, trade names, manufactured by Rohm & Haas). In addition, as occasion demands, a method in which a drug is made into a soluble salt or a method in which an inclusion compound is formed using cyclodextrin or the like may be employed. The solubilizing means may be appropriately changed depending upon each drug of interest [Saikin no Seizai Gijutsu to Sono Oyo (Recent Pharmaceutical Technology and Application), I. Utsumi, et al., Iyaku Journal, 157-159 (1983) and Yakugaku Monograph, No.1, Bioavailability, K. Nagai, et al., published by Soft Science, 78-82 (1988)]. Among the above techniques, a method in which solubility of a drug is improved by forming its solid dispersion with a solubilizing agent may be preferably employed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 49314/1981 and FR 2460667).
